Review Investment Policy; Financial, Budget and Debt Policy; and Asset
Capitalization Policy.
Staff indicated they have reviewed the aforementioned policies as well as the City’s
external auditors and are recommending only two changes at this time. The change are
to Section 1 - Financial Reporting Entity next to Planning and Zoning, add
Building and Safety and to Section 7. - Budget Policies: A. Categories of Funds, add a
new fund, Transit Fund - Measure M to the list of Funds. There was a brief discussion
regarding whether to include in the upcoming fiscal year budget, a transfer of $250,000
to the Utility Fund and how the City goes about contributing to the neighborhood
feasibility studies for the undergrounding of utility lines. No recommendation was
made.
Consideration of Update to Schedule of Fees and Charges
The City Manager went over the Schedule of Fees and Charges and indicated that Staff
is not recommending any changes to the current schedule. There was discussion
concerning the Building & Safety Fees received from Los Angeles County, and as of
November 30, 2017 revenues received were $352,334 which is 66% of the total budget
amount of $537,600 for the year.
There was discussion about the fee multiplier and Mayor Black indicated that he would
like to lower the multiplier from 2 1/2 times to 2 times, for the following fees: Building
Permit; Plumbing Permit; Mechanical Permit; and Electrical Permit. Committee
Member Mirsch indicated she would also be in favor of lowering the multiplier but felt
that 2 times might be too low and that she would be in favor of lowering it 2 ¼ times,
and Mayor Black agreed with the recommendation.
The Committee Members indicated that all of the other fees were fine and were not
recommending any changes at this time.
